Psalms 52

1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

猛者よなんぢ何なればあしき企圖をもて自らほこるや神のあはれみは恒にたえざるなり

2 Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

なんぢの舌はあしきことをはかり利き剃刀のごとくいつはりをおこなふ

3 You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.

なんぢは善よりも惡をこのみ正義をいふよりも虚偽をいふをこのむ (セラ)

4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

たばかりの舌よなんぢはすべての物をくひほろぼす言をこのむ

5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living.

されば神とこしへまでも汝をくだき また汝をとらへてその幕屋よりぬきいだし生るものの地よりなんぢの根をたやしたまはん (セラ)

6 The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

義者はこれを見ておそれ彼をわらひていはん

7 “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

神をおのが力となさず その富のゆたかなるをたのみ その惡をもて己をかたくせんとする人をみよと

8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

然はあれどわれは神の家にあるあをき橄欖の樹のごとし 我はいやとほながに神のあはれみに依賴まん

9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints.

なんぢこの事をおこなひ給ひしによりて我とこしへになんぢに感謝し なんぢの聖徒のまへにて聖名をまちのぞまん こは宜しきことなればなり
